The Ball Body Vase offers distinctive character with its mouth-blown glass construction, accented by natural surface cracks formed during the cooling process. Its rounded silhouette provides versatile display options for fresh or dried arrangements, while the blue finish brings depth and richness. The specialized crafting technique involves rapid temperature changes that create the signature cracked texture and enhance the glass strength.
Produced via a process that sees glass fully mouth-blown into a wooden mold, Polspotten's 'Ball Body' vases presents a compelling vision. Delicate and strong at once, the bulbous vessel is defined by a series of cracks along its surface, the result of the vase being plunged into ice cold water immediately after being blown, then placed again into an oven to cement its strength in a technique drawn from a Chinese craftsman. The result is a family of colorful pieces that includes this large blue vase that can be displayed empty or filled with blooms for equal impact.
